75 miles Northeast of Dixon's puts you near the Jersey border by Sussex County, right? Well just a little more due East and you're in Vernon, NJ, the home of the Garden State Black Powder Association. We're on a short hiatus, but we have a Shoot scheduled for Sunday, January 26th up on the Farm in Vernon. Are you interested?

In addition to our Club, there may be a Club up by you. I'm a member of the PA Federation of Black Powder Clubs. PM me and give me the name of the town you're in and I can give you some info on PA Club Shoots too!

Sheshequin Buckskinners are having a two day shoot Feb 8 and 9. Northern Lycoming county. If you need more info, let me know.

 

[robinson]

mostly we get together with family and friends here in the Mehoopany area. there is a lot of flintlock folks around here but getting them organized is like trying to get all the porcupine quills to line up on your dogs face as to pull them easier!!!
